			It's a time honoured tradition when a pop group splits up that some (or all) of its former members will go on to have solo careers or form splinter groups... do you have any favourites; are there any you think are actually better than the groups they came from?

			Ultimately no, even the most successful solo artists are never as successful as the groups they came from - Only Diana Ross and Beyoncé are the obvious examples of people who were better than their groups, musically and commercially

			No, none are better then the original group, personally I like Geri's from the spice girls solo career the best.

 But yes most solo artists from bands aren't usually successful because they achieved their success with a band not solo

			Mark Owen from Take That. I think Take That are good and they have some great songs, but I much prefer Mark's solo stuff. Robbie too.

			Agreed on Robbie being better than TT. Such an overrated group.

			Am I the only one who thinks JT solo is better than N Sync? I agree with Bey and Robbie being better than their respective groups too (even if I love DC and their classics)

			Michael Jackson is the most obvious and successful one. George Michael is another. Phil Collins also to a degree.
